Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agricultural economy generally pertains to the agricultural environment, resources, risk and uncertainty, food and consumer economics, prices and incomes, market structures, trade and development, technical change, and human capital. Food and fibre productivity have soared due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization, and government policies that favour maximizing production and reducing food prices.
At this moment, an important concern is related to a sustainable agricultural economy. In a reductionist form, sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals: environmental health, economic profitability, and social equity.
However, are there any important differences between sustainable agriculture and the sustainability of agriculture? It seems that sustainable agriculture is founded on techniques, methods, processes, etc. On the other hand, it seems that the sustainability of agriculture is based on continuity and quality in relation to resources and the obtained results. Is it possible for the principles of economics to influence the concept of sustainable agriculture more than sustainable agriculture?
This might be an important question that needs a good answer. Furthermore, it is important to develop and emphasize the relationships between sustainable agriculture/the sustainability of agriculture and other modern research and practical directions, such as circular economy, rural economy, intelligent climate/climate-oriented agriculture, sustainable governance, proximity agriculture, social agriculture, cycling agricultural economy, knowledge economy, artificial intelligence, and digital economy. Resilience and adaptability might also be related to a sustainable agricultural economy.
All these mentioned uni- or bi-directional relationships can initiate or develop the principles of a sustainable agricultural economy.
